Scope

The goal of the "Conference on Mobile Applications, Security, and Services" is to explore the challenges, issues and opportunities both for academic researchers and industrial innovators. We are looking for both research papers on new applications and presentations of deployment experiments or new business opportunities.
In an always-on context, mobile applications (as an illustration in 2013, more tablets were sold than laptops) are more and more interacting with sensitive or personal resources hosted in cloud computing infrastructures; as a consequence, security and trust are critical issues.
Among other, the NFC technology enables communication in close proximity.
Today, one million NFC smartphones are sold every week. With NFC mobiles surfacing the market so quickly, mobile operating systems are prepared for support with dedicated frameworks. This offers researchers and developers a great opportunity for getting quick traction with novel applications. So far, the main NFC-enabled services deal with payment, access control, or ticketing. Commercial applications today mainly target contactless payments, i.e., eWallets or eTickets managed by transportation companies. The broad availability of NFC-technology fertilizes research and development of novel applications and can go well beyond these intended applications.
This conference aims to bring researchers and industrial experts together to discuss the latest frontiers of mobile technology and also novel applications that have not been thought of before.

The workshop welcomes contributions addressing (but not limited to) the following
topics:
